| Artworks from the Goryeo Dynasty from an exhibition of North Korean Artifacts at the National Museum of Korea, Seoul Summer 2006 |
stunning life-size bronze statue of dynasty-founding-
king Goryeo Taejo Wang Geon, from the royal shrine

of a Korean king that I'm aware of... and thus an
invaluble National Treasure of the DPRK.
